Paintings by Rob Gonsalves.
Atheneum Books for Young Readers: NY, 2003. The paintings are the attraction of this collection of Rob Gonsalves’s paintings. There is no story. Instead, Thomson invites viewers to share the awe and wonder of imagining through Gonsalves’s highly creative work. Each of his Escher inspired creations has its own story to explore-the farmer lulling his sunflowers to sleep with music, the cityscape cut from a curtain, a planetarium created through curtain cuttings, the ladies of the lake appearing as a reflection, the monks of the magical mixture of clouds, moonlight and windows, and more.related-M. C. Escher, fine art in children’s books, artists, patterns and images created by nature, tessellations, point of view, imagination
